00:01The Turkish city of Trabzon is bursting with excitement.
00:06Egypt's star football player Mohamed Salah is arriving in the city
00:10after his transfer to its club Trabzonspor.
00:14The local fans have been celebrating since
00:16and are hoping that Salah will now also help their club advance.
00:23Our business improved after Salah came to Turkey and to Trabzonspor.
00:27God willing, we will win the championship title because of him.
00:31Thank goodness for Salah.
00:33We currently have one of the most famous players in world soccer.
00:36I designed this outfit specifically for him.
00:39We are very happy with him and he is happy with us too.
00:42Salah has truly embraced the city.
00:44God willing, we will win the championship title with him this year.
00:48Salah's transfer was announced last August.
00:52In his new club City, his presence has also become a work of art.
00:59When Mohamed Salah came to Trabzon, we created a mural,
01:03both as a welcome gift and as a tribute to the Arab and Egyptian tourists visiting our city,
01:07which they really loved.
01:10Following that, every tourist who passed by added a brushstroke.
01:14So, it's not just my work.
01:16There are brushstrokes from 100 to 150 different tourists here.
01:21The spot is right where the tourists arrive.
01:24And when I say Arab tourists, it's not just them.
01:27Domestic tourists also show a great deal of interest.
01:32The players' transfer has not only boosted tourism.
01:35According to local news, the club's social media accounts also gained 1 million additional followers after signing Salah.
